The show occupied the fourth hour of NBC’s “Today” program, a time slot that will be hosted by other co-anchors beginning next week, the network said. NBC didn’t address Kelly’s future at the network. But negotiations over her exit from NBC are underway, according to a person familiar with the talks who wasn’t autho rized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Kelly is in the second year of a three-year contract that reportedly pays her more than $20 million a year. A representative for Kelly did not immedi ately respond to a request for comment. Trump says Twitter removed followers — but he’s actually gained them President Donald Trump is claiming that Twitter has removed “many people” from his account. But he actually gained followers this month. According to the Internet Archive’s Way- back Machine, which collects snapshots of web pages over time, Trump had 54.8 mil lion followers on Oct. 1. He had 55.3 million as of Friday. Trump is suggesting “total bias” as he tweeted Friday that the company has “seem ingly done something that makes it much harder to join.” The company didn’t address Trump’s claim directly, but says “many prominent accounts” have seen follower counts drop as it works to remove malicious accounts and bots. The company said Thursday it lost 9 million users in the latest quarter, largely as a result of these efforts. Meghan’s wedding gown goes on display at Windsor Castle Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has described how she worked with designer Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy to create a “timeless” wedding gown for her wedding to Prince Harry earlier this year. Harry and the former Meghan Markle recorded their memories of the wedding for an audio commentary that is part of the new “Relive the Royal Wedding” exhibition at Windsor Castle that opened Friday. The gown and the five-meter-long veil Meghan wore with it are set to be the prime attraction at the 10-week display. In the audio recording, the former actress said she had a clear idea of what she wanted to wear from the start. “I knew at the onset I wanted a bateau neckline, I wanted a cropped sleeve, I wanted a very timeless, classic feeling,” she said. The dress also needed to be suitably mod est for the May 19 wedding held in a chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle, she said. “There was a great level of detail that went into the planning of our wedding day,” said Meghan, who is pregnant with the cou ple’s first child. “I think for us, we knew how large the scale of the event would be, so in making choices that were really personal and mean ingful, it could make the whole experience feel intimate, even though it was a very big wedding,” the duchess said.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Mon.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s better not to get too deep into why people behave as they do. It could have something to do with you, but likely not. You won’t regret staying within your own boundaries and let ting others do the same. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know someone really likes you when that person tries to be an all-around improved and heightened version around you. And when it’s you doing this, it’s a fair indication that you’re the one smitten. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stop putting it off! (And don’t pretend like you don’t know what this horoscope is about.) Not to live the life you want to live is an abuse of the present. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whether or not you feel that you’ve been adequately loved, you are able to offer this to others. The big ques tion is if you can you give it to yourself. Not everyone capa ble of self-nurturing. Hopefully you are. It will be essential to growth. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Com munication gets tricky. If no one cares to try harder, con versation might devolve into people droning on about what they know instead people connecting with one another. You can steer it into better out comes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though other value systems may different from yours, that doesn’t make them wrong. Stars illuminate your humani tarian instincts. And people are attracted to your instinct for tolerance and inclusion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You came here to learn. So did they, although they might not be as in touch with their origi nal intent. Embrace imperfec tion and open yourself to the lesson. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In convenient happenings can be fortuitous and seemingly lucky happenings can turn out to be a major pain. So don’t be quick to judge. What happens will be pretty funny regardless of the ultimate outcome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You sometimes question what people want from you, and this is only smart. You don’t have to be a cynic to be on guard against the darker inclinations of human nature. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Blood is thicker than gossip. When it comes to your fam ily, you’re fiercely protective regardless of whether they are in the right or not. And, if nec essary, they would be similarly protective of you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Pretending to be confident isn’t the same as being confi dent. But the people who act like they have it all together don’t fool you. You’d much rather see the confidence that comes from admitting the struggle. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Thoughts have power, so take control before they take control of you. And don’t be surprised if your feelings are all over the place today. Ecstasy, jealousy, agony and boredom could all happen in the span of an hour.
